Atelier in Via XX Settembre 15, Milan. By appointment only, in person or by video call.
The leathers and tools of the atelier

Things done well ask for time.

We keep no finished pieces in a window. We have no window. There is a table, there is leather, there is an appointment.

Antonio Zichichi at the workbench

Who is at the bench

Antonio Zichichi, since 1974 between watches and leather: watchmaker at Piaget, then twenty-five years between the United States and Milan.

What leaves Via XX Settembre begins with a conversation: your watch, your habits, a leather chosen together.

The material and the bench

European tanneries, mostly French. Certificates are shown on request; exotic leathers travel with their CITES. They are chosen at the bench, one by one: against the grain, against the light.

Cutting, skiving, lining, hand stitching. Some fifty steps.

The time

Four weeks are not a wait. They are the product. Each piece leaves when it is ready, and remains ours even after: care for the first eighteen months is included.

By appointment only, Milan. In person at Via XX Settembre 15, or by video call if you are not in Milan.
